Damn the top comments didn’t understand this joke at alll lol . The joke is that when a woman is in excruciating pain in labor and the guy goes “it’s ok honey you got this!” she often flies into a rageee and starts cussing up a storm “Oh do I “got this” Dave?? you so and so!” 😭 my bestie works in the labor and delivery and she jokes about this kinda thing all the time . The nurse here knows what’s about to come cuz she’s seen some things iykwim. That’s what the joke really is.
I wonder if a lot of this is pent up rage at the patriarchy, which women have to suppress every day. Many women are still expected to be subservient to the husband of the household. And when women become most primal, either they are unable to maintain that subservience with all the "thank you honey 😍 you're so kind and wonderful 🙏" and/or, on a subconscious level, this is the only time a woman is "permitted" to completely lose her shit and let all that rage out.
Then, once the baby is out, it's back to the role of peacemaker.
